%0 Journal Article %A Muñoz-Fernández, Gustavo A. %A Seoane-Sepúlveda, Juan B. %T Geometry of Banach spaces of trinomials %D 2008 %@ 0022-247X %U https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/50195 %X For each pair of numbers m, n epsilon N with m > n, we consider the norm on R-3 given by parallel to(a, b, c)parallel to m,n = sup{vertical bar ax(m) +bx(n) +C vertical bar: x epsilon [-1, 1]} for every (a, b, c) epsilon R-3. We investigate some geometrical properties of these norms. We provide an explicit formula for parallel to center dot parallel to m,n, a full description of the extreme points of the corresponding unit balls and a parametrization and a plot of their unit spheres. %~
